Authorities have released the name of a pre-teen boy who was killed in an accidental shooting on Christmas Eve.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office on Wednesday identified the boy as. He Jamycah Ramone Frazier-Turner. He was 12 and lived in Adamsville.

West Precinct officers were dispatched at 4:50 p.m. Sunday to a report of a juvenile shot in the 1300 block of Pike Road.

When officers arrived on the scene, they were led to an alley where they found Jamycah suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was taken to Children’s of Alabama, where he was pronounced dead at 5:36 p.m.

Police said it appears the boy was visiting family friends when he got the gun out of a nearby vehicle.

Everybody that was there when the gun discharged remained on the scene and fully cooperated with police.

Jamycah was one of two children killed over the past week in Birmingham.

On Thursday, 3-year-old Kacey Jackson was killed when he found his mother’s gun under her bed at their east Birmingham home.

Kacey’s mother, Meosha Mayfield, spoke with AL.com about the ordeal.

“The worst thing about these two deaths is we know from speaking to victims’ families that dates trigger trauma and memories, and you have a holiday as big as Christmas where we have lost two of our children,’’ Officer Truman Fitzgerald said after the 12-year-old’s death. “You can only image what Christmas will be like in the future for these families.”

“I know once we conclude this investigation, Mayor Woodfin and Chief Thurmond are going to sit down at the table and come up with a game plan to do everything we can in our power to educate the public to prevent accidents like these from happening in 2024.”
